Refugees: Their Gifts to Us
Sunday, May 20, 11 am

UCV has sponsored refugees from all over the world for a long time, starting with the Vietnamese boat refugees. We have witnessed their amazing resilience, courage, humour, gratitude, compassion, and creativity. Come and listen to stories that debunk the myths. Find out why we cannot stop sponsoring.

Pledging for July 2012 through June 2013: It's Up to All of Us!
At UCV we have the freedom to be entirely self-governing. And we have the responsibility to be entirely self-financing. We all need to pull our weight when it comes to pledging. If we were to do so, we would have a budget surplus that we could apply to our beautiful (but aging) buildings and to making more of a difference in the world – exciting reasons to make us fiscally fit. For more information, click the elephant.
